Who doesnt love them?? I mean you gotta love getting crazy stoaked over 3 inches of fresh, right? Any fond memories anyone would like to share of their east coast pow days??

 
yeah but whats amazing about east coast is that when you find powder you dont know what to do i remember my best turns on snow were on the whiteface glades with over waist deep snow it was amazing.
 
Most of the pow days i've had on the east coast were at stowe. One or two at belleayre, but trees are so incredibly fun, and stowe has some sick terrain
 
i skied in 4ft of fresh last year when the valentines day storm hit...some special mountain up north just got hammered and it was awesome. i dont really consider ec snow pow tho...its way too wet. pow id consider the real light, fluffy, dry snow you get out west. occasionally its lighter here, but still not even comparable
 
I was at Stowe a couple days after the Valentine's Storm last year which kicked a lot of ass. I left Goat and the glades off of it maybe twice.

And that's about it for my east coast pow experience.
 
Had one last year at Bristol Mountain NY during the V-day storm. like 8-10 inches of new and it just snowed all day. Fourth chair up. Shredded 1200' vertical of untouched pow for about 3 runs before it got tracked out. All day it was epic though. So fun.
 
so many sick days on the east. this year i had a bunch of sick days where we had over 3 feet and when we hiked we got soem dank deeper shit. i live liek 15 min away form this little mt bolton and i hike the top of it all the time and its always got leik 6 feet of snow. its fun as hell
 
day after st patty's day last year,

got third tracks down from the top of mansfield,

then zipped down to the notch road and did it again

best day in east.

valentine's day at smuggs.

This year there has been many great days,

but no days where you were getting white roomed nonstop.

but still sick sick days at stowe,

and a good day at mad river in dec
 
yea we got like 8 inches in january, it was ill. the tree skiing was so sick, then i think we lost it all later that week because of temps in the 60's. theres some pictures in my profile of a little booter we built.
 
last valentines the east coast got a shitload of snow and i was knee+ deep and this year a few weeks ago they got a lot of snow all week so the "unkown" trails were about the same
 
lol i rememb once this year we had 1 ft of fresh and i was excited as hell, and was in woods all day, then last wekend we had 4" fresh and i was still super excited and thought it was amazing...

see wat EC does to your mind?
 
same here.. i remember skiing a day this past year at whiteface where i took only 1 park run.. i skiied the glades all day with some cliffs.. it was so fun
 
Parker i have ridden belleayre pow days more then you have and you have been skiing belleayre longer than me. come to belleayre this weekend to ride with me and billek
 
about a month ago at Mt snow i was skiing pow first run

i was skiing jaws mad early in the morning.

There was about 18 inches of snow on a bump run.

I was flying down getting facials and i passed a fairly young ski school and

every kid there was shouting and were stoked on my skiing

 
on new years eve i was pumped cause there was like 3 inches of fresh on the ground. then i went to utah and skied two feet of fresh in the trees. no comparasion.
 
I had about 4-5 epic powder days this year on the EC

A lucky one at Owl's Head (like a foot of fresh)

Another lucky one at Jay Peak, the snow started to dump at 11h30 AM while I was skiing ... 1 and a half feet in about an hour so I had first tracks all the rest of the day.

2 EPIC days at Mont-Sainte-Anne (the day of a storm and the day after)

 
mount snow this year, i forget the weekend, fresh 18 inches of pow, skiing down uncles was the most fun run of my life. ill never forget that day.
 
yea we got like a 5 inch storm in CT in february thne another one in MArch. We hit up the trees off the side of Southington and snatched a few rocks, branches, bushes, river, watever. such sick days in CT
 
headed up to sugarloaf two years ago and had no clue that they had gotten pounded with over a foot the night before, took a run down misery whip (best trail ever other than snowfields on a powday) got some of the first tracks and was going pretty fast when i hit one of the moguls about 100 feet from the end of the first part of the trail... did three quarters of an off axis backflip, bounced off the snow, double eject, slid to the end of the trail, got up laughing and started looking for my skis and nothing on me hurt... thats what i love about east coast pow days- you can do things you might not on those icey slopes and not get hurt when you fall
 
the lightest pow i've ever skied was at okemo this year in december, it was amazing about 9-12 inches of super light pow, even lighter than what i found in my trip to colorado
